The Square & Compass

Worth Matravers, Swanage

A shining example of a pub. Great seating lovely views. Great beer, great snacks and pasties, or even a brownie.
Has a good selection of crisps and sides.

It even has its own museum which is interesting and worth a visit anyway.

A hidden gem! The decor may not initially draw you in but once inside it’s is a lovely welcoming atmosphere and the food is exceptionally good! We really enjoyed our meal there and will be raving about it until we visit the area again. Thank you to our lovely host and chef (who came to check in with us!). Real, delicious food. If you are in the area then it’s a must stop for dinner!

Vegetarian options: Great!

Chilled Red

1-5 Commercial Rd, Swanage

Gem of an independent restaurant tucked away behind the main street. The menu consists of bistro classics with an emphasis on local seafood: this can often mean mediocre standards or laziness in the kitchen, but not here. The cooking, presentation and service were a delight, with a real sense that the whole team were eager to please, even on a busy Saturday in August. Price point is very fair for the quality, wine mark-ups are reasonable and well worth seeking out: a restaurant that deserves to thrive.

Amazing spooky old pub. Was here just for drinks as we missed the food time. Interesting place. The garden is awesome, quite a few tables on a bit of an incline. Mini stone circle and memorials out there.

The Kings Arms

27 High St, Langton Matravers, Swanage

Unfortunately food was not available when we visited but at the time we were only looking for a snack.
What a pub, not necessarily to everyone's taste but the atmosphere and the socialside with the barman/landlord (?) and locals was really welcoming.
The Ale was awesome, my first pint tasted so good it disappeared so quick I had to buy another. Even better it was in a dimple glass with a handle.
Best PUB I have been in for ages.

Grand Hotel

Burlington Road, Swanage

The location is good with great views over Swanage bay, staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great but could be a little cheaper, a good selection of beers and cider , the only real negative was the lack of parking spaces, but there is a public car park nearby, all that said this is a lovely hotel for a weekend away or a longer stay ?.
